Monday's Message: Use your Body!

The message yesterday was about how we need to respect our bodies because God gave them to us! We need to use them for his service, and in order to do that, we need to take care of them! Do not be obsessed with how you look, but make sure that you are healthy. I think this is a very important message. It is so true. If we don't respect our own body, how can we use it to the best of our abilities for God?

(One year ago today...wow how things change!)

On another note, after church yesterday we met some people at a Mexican restaurant (yeah...after hearing to take care of our bodies...I ate cheese dip, an enchilada, and rice!) But if you recall, we have been having a hard time getting Little Man to eat anything except for baby food, cereal and Baked Lays. We decided the chips at the restaurant would probably be okay after he practically begged for them when he saw us eating them. Well, we were wrong...after just a few bites, he gagged, and lots came back up. Only Puffs after that! And then Mrs. Lou asked if she could give him a bite of her chicken. I was nervous because of what had just happened, and he has never tried chicken before...but he loved it!! No gagging and he even wanted more. I am so happy to know I can feed him chicken now...I just want him to start getting table fruits and veggies soon! :) His one year check up is on Thursday, so I will definitely have some questions for the pediatrician.

Oh gosh food is always a source of concern for me when it comes to what I'm feeding GG. She's picky but fortunately does like her veggies. The 12 month check up is not too fun, then again shots never are! Thinking about y'all!
